Emotional Efreet, by Amory McKeever




Emotional Efreet burns me down 
On fire the flying Pegasus drowns 
In reflecting pools of this dirty town 
Lovelorn thieves have come and gone 
The vultures eating me, passing on 
Like a heartbreak charade I play along 
She cannibalizes my weary soul 
Emotional Efreet lets me go 
Just long enough to work me more 
Standing me up just to leave me low 
Like a tidal wave cracking my bones 
My will is sweeping out with the flow 
With a tux and an empty wedding gown 
With a hundred people toasting a clown 
With Pegasus feathers flying around 
Emotional Efreet burns me down
